14k Gold Belly Ring | What To Avoid Buying Gold Belly Jewelry

Many people prefer gold to other metals (my wife is one of them!) when it comes to wearing jewelry. Since ancient times gold has been considered a symbol of wealth and prestige and these traditions keep on living these days. Gold is a beautiful metal.

As you probably know, there are a few kinds of gold that you can choose from when looking for a gold navel jewelry.

Your Most Common Choices When Going Gold:

classic yellow gold,

white gold - it looks like platinum (I prefer this gold),

you can get different karat gold - karat simply means one part of 24. The karat number indicates how many parts of 24 consist of gold - the bigger the number, the purest is gold.

Sometimes gold belly button rings that can irritate your skin and cause allergic reactions. And then you presume that gold jewelry isn’t the right option for you and go for other metal. However - are you really allergic to gold or is it just low quality gold that you’ve bought?

When I was 15 I got my ear piercing done and a gold piece of jewelry was put in. Then I was told that gold and silver were the best metals to help the piercing heal. I didn’t have any problems with that golden earring, but you’d be better off buying more appropriate material.

Want to buy a gold belly ring but can’t afford it?

If you want to go for gold navel jewelry but it seems to be a bit too dear - there’s gold plated body jewelry. It is when gold layer is electroplated upon some other metal to make the piece of jewelry less expensive. If you go for a plated gold belly ring, remember - base metal must be indicated! I guess you want to be sure what’s in your belly ring, don’t you?

Gold plating can chip off over time and then your piercing is exposed to another layer of different metal used to hold the gold layer to the base material. This other layer is either copper or nickel and they can react with sulfur in your body. It can be toxic.

Anyway - I think when the time comes and the plating starts coming off, you’ll buy a new belly ring - and this time pure gold:-)
